Armino Persian Traditional Floral Rust Hand Knotted Wool Carpet 63168

The pattern in front of you descends from a tradition of village and workshop weaving that crossed Persia, the Caucasus, and Anatolia for two centuries. The geometry is older than any of the towns it was woven in, and the colour discipline was refined by generations of weavers who never met one another. The line continues here.

The loom carried this piece for several months. Hand-tied knots at approximately 145 per square inch on a cotton foundation. Hand-spun wool dyed in small lots from madder root, indigo, oak gall, and walnut hull, each batch matured in copper vats for two to three weeks before the wool was lowered.

The composition

A primary medallion sits over a softer secondary field. The rust grounds the composition; the ivory works as relief above it. Madder reds carry warmth across the field while indigo guard bands hold the edges. The rug arrives ready to begin a long life under foot.

What you are buying

An equivalent piece sourced through a London or New York dealer runs at three to five times this number once shipping, duty, and margin are layered on. The work is the same. The wool is the same. The dye is the same. What you are paying for at this price is the carpet itself, without the chain of resale that inflates equivalents abroad.

The piece in a room

At the size as listed, the rug works as the central composition of a room arranged around it. Mid-tone walls hold the saturation. The rust carries warmth into the architecture without competing with upholstery or art.

Conservation

A vegetable-dyed hand-knotted carpet is a long-lived object. Rotate every six months. Vacuum weekly without a beater bar. Blot spills with cotton, never rub. Specialist hand-wash every five years. With this routine the rug will see out two human generations.
